Excess Baggage
We provide our customers with some of the most generous baggage allowances in the industry. if your baggage still exceeds the free baggage allowances, a competitive charge will be levied at the airport by our Customer Service staff.
If you are travelling your entire journey on Gulf Air Operated flights, Gulf Air now offers new excess baggage charges per kilo, dependant on the 'zone' of your origin and destination within the entire Gulf Air network. You can calculate it yourself and plan it ahead with your travel budget.
If you are travelling with other airlines on your Gulf Air ticket, another baggage policy is applied. The below unique and competitive rates do not apply to codeshare flights operated by partner airlines, interline itineraries with other airline in combination with Gulf Air or flights to and from USA & Canada.
For example
Flying from London to Delhi with 7 kgs of Excess baggage would cost (20+9)=29 USD per kilo, times 7kgs = 203 USD in total excess baggage fee.
Flying from London to Hanoi via Bahrain on Gulf Air and from Bangkok onward with Thai Airways:
10Kgs of excess baggage would cost (20+20) = 40 USD per kilo, times 10 = 400 USD in total excess baggage fee.
